Collards

Collards

Collards, also called collard greens, have a mild flavor that becomes more bitter as they grow. They also become more bitter once they begin to wilt.

Collards can last for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. To prevent wilting, store them wrapped in a damp paper towel in a plastic bag.
